I have a keyboard (Microsoft Wireless 800) which has an Insert key
right
beside the Backspace and I keep hitting it by accident and changing the
insert mode of whatever I'm typing. I want to disable this key
completely as I can think of no circumstance in which it would ever be
useful. If it can't be disabled I would consider remapping it to a
second Backspace.
Any ideas? I'm using KDE under F21 but I would hope for a general
solution to this.
I would use xmodmap for this:
xmodmap -e "keycode <your_key_code_here> = NoSymbol"
(or something along these lines). You can find out the key code with xev.
